Cruz: Trump Skipped CPAC Because He Heard Megyn Kelly Was Coming
Talking Points Memo ^ | 3/4/2016 | KRISTIN SALAKY

Posted on 03/04/2016 4:50:41 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) joked that Donald Trump had canceled his scheduled speech at the confab because he didn't want to face Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

"Donald Trump is skipping CPAC. I think somebody told him Megan Kelly was going to be here," Cruz said to cheers from the crowd. "Or even worse, was told there were conservative that were going to be here. Or even worse he was told there were libertarians that were going to be here. Or even worse, they were told there were young people who were going to be here. Not all of you have a degree from Trump University."

Trump was scheduled to speak at CPAC on Saturday morning, but canceled that appearance on Friday in order to hold a rally in Wichita, Kansas instead.

The real estate mogul has publicly butted heads with Kelly ever since she asked a question about his derogatory remarks toward women at a Republican presidential debate in August.

Can’t people joke any more? Based on his personality, this was an effort to be funny. Give him a pass.

More likely because he heard Glenn Beck was going to stab him.

Cruz is a real a**.

Even all grown up, he's exactly like that 18 year old in his high school video.

Trump openly belittles and mocks conservatives all the time, so this is funny because it’s true.

Did he say anything about Marco who also did not attend? Remember Rush said Marco is a Reagan Republican.

I talked with people who had paid $300/pop just so they could hear trump speak. They are pretty pissed that the grand poobah has dissed them and are cha nging their votes to someone a little more TRUSTworthy

Cruz is a sickening schmuck. I hope he gets a royal kick to the curb.

I like Trump but feel this was a pretty good joke. We all red to lighten up.

Paying to go to CPAC is like being charged to listen to smugness.

One thing about Trump, he doesn’t belittle conservatives or liberals, he belittles individuals most of who deserve it. Man, woman, black, white, he treats all equally.
